Impassioned Oil Portrait

A striking oil portrait captures a woman's serene yet fierce expression, utilizing thick impasto technique to bring texture and vibrancy to the artwork. The background contrasts rich emerald and magenta splashes that accentuate her features without overshadowing them.

FACE MATCH IS THE TOP PRIORITY. This is the exact woman in the attached reference photo - not a lookalike. Copy the reference face feature by feature - hairline, hair, brows, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, jawline, cheek structure, skin tone - every proportion identical, so anyone who knows her recognises her instantly; do not beautify, slim or genericise. From the reference keep only the face and hair.

ART: a palette-knife oil portrait - thick impasto ridges, every stroke a physical slab of paint, canvas texture honest. FIELD LAW: the background is two clashing colour fields of knifed paint splashes meeting behind her, and those field colours fleck onto the shoulders, collar and outer hair edges ONLY - never across the eyes, brows, nose or mouth; the core of the face is painted in clean true skin tones with every reference feature and proportion exact, eyes their real size with one thick white paint-dab catchlight each, the face held frontal-to-three-quarter and the brightest, most resolved area of the canvas. Fields: deep emerald greens camera-left, hot magenta camera-right. Head-and-shoulder crop, a knifed blouse edge with a single thick gold stroke as a chain, hands out of frame below the crop. Hair in long knife-pulled waves over one shoulder, the reference hairline exact, strands clear of her eyes. GAZE: eyes on the viewer, steady and unhurried. Expression: serene ferocity - calm mouth, blazing eyes. Implied light from upper-right across the ridges. Vertical 4:5. Only this one person. No text anywhere.

LIGHT LAW: the face is lit only by this scene's own light - one consistent direction and warmth shading every element of the image, never a pasted studio face.

FINAL CHECK: compare the face against the attached reference - the identity must match exactly; if any feature differs from the reference, it is wrong.

How to use this prompt

Provide a clear reference photo of the woman to ensure accurate facial matching.
